HOW TO COOK SPECIAL TORTANG TALONG (EGGPLANT OMELETTE)


 

 

Here is another Filipino dish, the SPECIAL TORTANG TALONG (EGGPALNT OMELETTE). Not all the Filipinos know how to cook Tortang Talong, I am kind of upset or something because Tortang Talong is very easy to cook yet many of us don’t know how to cook it. It’s not your kind of Fancy restaurant dish because we all know eggplant is cheap in the market as well as the egg. I made a little twist in this recipe to make it more appealing, delicious and special and of course to me my dishes are special because I cook dishes with all my heart, lol! You, guys can do some twist too. Just be creative and do not be afraid to experiment. Here is how to cook SPECIAL TORTANG TALONG:

INGREDIENTS
* 6 regular size of Egg Plant (long eggplant)
* 3 eggs
* salt to taste
* ½ cup of ground pork
* cooking oil or vegetable oil
*Tomato sauce or Banana catsup for dip

COOKING PROCEDURE
1. Roast the eggplant over the charcoal grill.
2. Remove the skin from the eggplant, flatten it and set aside.
3. Add oil in a pan, stirfry the pork and let it rest.
4. Scramble together the salt, pork and egg.
5. Soak up the eggplant in the egg mixture and fry.

Here is another Filipino Authentic dish recipe. This is the SINABAWANG TAHONG or others call it GINISANG TAHONG. This recipe is very simple and easy just be careful on preparing the tahong because we do not want to ruin it with stinky dead tahong so make sure the tahong are alive before we prepare them. You, guys can make a little twist to it too like looking for a good replacement for the Ampalaya leaves or you can make it more hot and spicy, it is up to you guys as long as you’ll love the taste. And one thing I almost forget, make sure there is no “red tide” whenever youre gonna do this dish or else you’ll end up in unwanted place. Here is how to cook SINABAWANG TAHONG or Ginisang Tahong:
